From the Author
This project would not have happened without the help of my research assistant, Julie Richard. I am grateful to my friends and colleagues Louise Déry, Mario Côté, Louise Vigneault, Gilles Lapointe, Peter Hodgins, Ken Carpenter, Marie Beaulieu, and many others. Paul Bradley and the Galerie Simon Blais were extremely generous in sharing images of Sullivan’s work. I am especially indebted to Françoise Sullivan, who made me tea in her Pointe-Saint-Charles studio, and took the time to discuss her life and work with me.
 
I was honoured to be asked to write about Françoise Sullivan by Art Canada Institute. I wish to thank Sara Angel and Anna Hudson for thinking of me, as well as the other members of the ACI team who contributed to this book: Lara Hinchberger, Kendra Ward, Simone Wharton, Laura Demers, Emily Derr, and  Ginette Jubinville.
